Hmmm… I wonder where Obama will be golfing today?

An enormous shudder swept through Wall Street early Monday as the Dow Jones industrial average cratered more than 1,000 points, or about 6.2 percent, in early trading on Monday — before leveling off at a decline of 700 points, or 4.2 percent, as fears of a global economic slowdown once again spooked US investors.

Market moves in early trading were massive and erratic — with the Dow bouncing between declines of 500 points and 1,050 points. Volume was massive.

The huge Dow sell-off follows an 8.5 percent decline in Asia markets. In Europe, markets were down as much as 6 percent.
While the stock sell-off was eye-opening, it was nothing close to a record. On Black Monday — Oct. 19, 1987 — the Dow fell 22.6 percent.
